Forgot to address that part ...

I have wrote verimg(8) because I need to build custom images in predictable and flexible way  ... if 'generic' images from FTP would suit me - I would use them and would not write the tool. Its not verimg(8) target to 'clone' the 'release.sh' with hashes or anything. The task of verimg(8) is to provide reliable/easy/fast interface for creating PKGBASE FreeBSD images from pkg(8) repos that are already available - often custom ones - with custom needs.

Hope that help.

vermaden
